Anyone have any experience with these guys?

Finally looking to tune my truck and this is the most reasonable price I've found that offers the options I need.

Mainly looking to delete the damn cold start ... running a straight pipe system with gutted cats shakes the windows in my house and I'm sure it does my neighbors as well

Last time I spoke to velos they offered me a "great" deal at like 1.5k and I'm not aware of them offering cold start delete which is the thing I'm looking for in a tune.

You could consider a Frank Smith tune from Tuning Tech, he's very well respected across several platforms, lower price and can include cold start delete. My car is getting his tune this week, so I could give a review in a couple weeks.

Thanks, I've reached out to them

Frank is a good guy. But it's a hobby for him, not a business (though he has a very nice shop and is a legit business) so it might seem a little difficult to get through. I am local and have spent a little time over there, good guy.. but again.. a hobby.
